Default need to know what rear end ......

Just bought an 89 XJ pioneer. there are no ID tags on the diffs like my 2000 has. i know its not an 8.25. i thought they only put the 44 in from 87-88 but found out tonight that they did this from 87-90. does anyone know where i can find a pic of a 44 to look at. Also, is there a site where you can punch in the VIN# and have the list of options that came with the vehicle?
Thanks in advance.

If you clean off the ears of the Diff, it will be stamped 35 or 44, really easy to see..

Also here's a pics of axles to ID them.....

rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd ask in here . . .




I've figured out that my front is a D30, but I can't figure out what my rear is . . .

Yeah, I remember what Michigan Winters did to cars...

Looks just like mine. It's more oval than the Chrysler 8.25, not to mention mine actually says "Dana" on it.
